With the cost of living crisis making people insecure about basic needs such as nourishment, now is an important time to lend a hand. We talk to Mary McGrath, CEO of FoodCycle, about how we can all help out.
According to the Food Foundation, 18% of UK households (or 9.7 million adults) experienced food insecurity in September 2022. With bills and commodity prices constantly rising, this number is set to increase even more this winter. Charities such as FoodCycle, based in Nine Elms, London, are doing their best to provide adequate food to those in need the organisation uses surplus food to create meals for people at risk of food poverty and social isolation - yet always welcome an extra pair of hands. Mary explains what FoodCycle does and how you can help over the festive season.
